"I'm honestly struggling to understand the point of this book + hoping that because it's a series, there MUST be something redemptive here...but at 46% I'm close to DNFing this one." — Apr 11, 2026 04:25AM

“How could I just turn my back on him like this? But how could I stay? It isn’t the money. It isn’t. I’d gladly give him every cent I have. Because the truth is, I really can put up with the fact that he thought I was fat. And I can put up with the fact that he apparently complained about my fatness to his family. And I can put up with the gambling, and even with the fact that he pretended like he couldn’t come so I would give him a blow job. But defrauding poor people? Because that is basically what someone who takes unemployment while having a paying job is doing. That I cannot tolerate.”

“The American Standard translation orders men to triumph over sin, and you can call sin ignorance. The King James translation makes a promise in ‘Thou shalt,’ meaning that men will surely triumph over sin. But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’—that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.”
